A great post John, yes you will probably loose a few subscribers, but the message you are giving is very clear.

Oh and by the way I have signed up for the offer (I think what with all the website issues)

Cheers

The only reason I can think of for someone not to buy through your link is if they didn’t know of your AWESOME bonuses!!!

I feel bad for the IM’ers who don’t know about you, but I’m glad I was lucky enough to get in on this promotion.

The way I figure it, I can’t lose with your help, my effort, and BM – it was a real no-brainer to order through you . . . thanks

I’m really looking forward to your upcoming videos!

Hi John,

totally agree, its a no brainer, yeh we had problems yesterday getting into the site, but it sorted now.

Good for you John.

I am already an owner of the original Butterfly marketing script, I havent had as much success with it as you have but I think spending $29.99 for it would be a no brainer.

If you need any help with helping people succeed with Butterfly Marketing let me know, you have my email

Sock it to ’em John.
Like I always say on my Blog: If you do nothing, you get nothing, so do something.
If anyone reads this comment, believe me John Thornhill is the best guy I know to help you succeed. Just ‘Go For It’

Dear John you are so right. If someone is at all serious about IM this is the deal to go for and its a one in a million chance since the servers creashed and he(Mike) extended the time and the number. I am on workers’ compensation and can’t have another income but still I bought BFM.

I got on at 12:10 and just as I pushed pay it crashed. I stayed in my chair waiting for it to open. and I could get thru. I sat there til 7pm and then I got my BFM. Money is tight so I will have to cancel the magazine. And John I don’t even have a business but love learning and have helped friends.

People should not be afraid. Take that first step before its gone forever. I support your blog 100%. I opted for other bonuses that would serve me well but what you offered should have moved the hesitant. Feel free to publish this to your blog. What you did had to be said. Sincerely,Gail Goodman

I posted in that warrior thread earlier today, like you I couldn’t believe all the whining.

I don’t think some people would recognise an opportunity if it smacked them in the mouth. If they don’t recognise the value of not only being able to buy a two grand script for 30 bucks, and on top of that getting free training from a guy who uses it day in and day out to make money, then I think they are wasting their time being on your list.

David

John,

I got my copy of BFM 2.0 through you. Thanks!

Really appreciate your video beforehand explaining how we can opt out of the newsletter. You did the same for Mike’s last launch (and the newsletter is unfortunately pretty lame, so I opted out).

Your honesty and dedication to the people on your list are admirable.

Looking forward to learning more from you!

Dan

Reply from John:
Thanks Dan, Mike’s newsletter has come on leaps and bounds since last year and if you just give it one issue you may be pleasantly surprised. Plus remember his next issue will be killer as he will want to keep you subscribed. Who knows what bonuses he may throw in?

John,

Again, thank you for your enourmous generosity.

Is $29.99 too much to ‘invest’ in your own business?

I am sure that most everyone else who reads your post was inundated with bonus offers for you to buy through their own link…yours was the only one that I saw that didn’t require an additional purchase of another piece of software or ‘coaching course’. Ranging from $197 to $499.

Why would anyone want to spend the extra $$$, when you are going to be providing the instruction that is necessary to make BFM2 a success for us?

Beats me.

Hooohaahh!! for you!!

Regards,

Ron

I think I know the answer to your question. People don’t believe us. Sometimes we send messages and offers to our lists with the best intentions and those intentions are misread. Can you blame people? We have all been sold something (sometimes many things) that don’t do what they claim it does, both online and otherwise. I know that the honesty of marketers like you and I will come through in the end.

Hi John, I can’t imagine anyone would pass up this offer. I agree with you, if they didn’t, they aren’t serious about making it in internet marketing. I would have gotten this regardless, but your offer is THE BEST and I am so excited that I was able to get it. Yes, Mike had some site problems yesterday, but my thought was “I know what to look forward to when it’s my turn”:-) If anyone expects 100% cooperation 100% of the time they aren’t realistic about owning any business of their own. It’s how you handle the stumbling blocks, not the stumbling blocks themselves! Thanks for the wonderful bonus offer, $30 was really nothing to think about at all for a product and Bonus worth this much!! Thanks John, Kathy

This is an absolute no brainer…

I have wanted this script for the past 2 years, but never had the money to buy it. I cant believe Mike Filsaime is giving this away for free…. im lucky enough to get through John link.
So for those that havent yet signed up …DO IT NOW…

Dont think you lose readers John, some people just need a reality check sometimes… as they so the truth sometimes hurts..
Looking forward to your bonuses..

Take care

I bought through Johns link this morning just for the help that he will be giving us, it was a no brainer!

Hey John,

Well said there mate, as I said in my emails BM has generated me over 20,000 subscribers and well over $100,000 from BM sites alone.
So if there is anybody else still a bit unsure then just look at the facts and they speak for themselves!

Nice one mate!

Dave.

Hi John,
If you are saying that you have not got huge numbers of people using your link; then to be quite honest I’m flabbergasted.

I have looked around at a lot of the bonuses that are available out there, and to be fair some are very good, but the bottom line is what are you going to do with the package when it eventually arrives on your door step?

Wouldn’t it be better to have someone show you step by step how to leverage the best out of Butterfly Marketing by a real person that has actually used it (Highly successfully) over and over again.

It doesn’t even stop there, with your bonus you are committing to help promote the butterfly sites to your current 50,000+ list and continue to do so no matter how big your list gets.

What more could anyone possibly want?

Perhaps they are looking for the push button solution. The product that costs them a one off payment of $27 that will
• practically install itself
• Automatically attract hordes of targeted traffic
• Have a hypnotic sales page that forces people to buy
• Never have to do anything with it from the day you set it up.
• Makes you $20,000 a month.

Well, when you find it please, please let me know because I’ll snap up a dozen of them.

In the meantime I won’t be holding my breath. What I will be doing is working with John Thornhill on my new Butterfly Marketing sites, building a massive, loyal, targeted list and making real profits.

Just to prove this is not just a simple comment I just thought I would throw in, check out my blog post here on my thoughts on the subject.
http://ken-biddle.com/john-thornhills-bonuses-for-butterfly-marketing-20/

I have my own JV link for Butterfly Marketing, but now John has announced his bonus package I am actively supporting John’s link because I believe it is simply the bonus that people will benefit most from.

How altruistic I here you snigger. Well the simple truth is that one of the things this business is all about is relationships. If John’s clients do well then through my association with John, I will do well. Also people that read my blog will know that I am not just going to tell them anything just to get a few dollar commission. If I do not think a product or offer is worth it to the client then I simply will not promote it.

See how it works? Adopt this approach and your clients will trust you.

For anyone that is reading this I would like you to know that John Thornhill is one of the most down to earth guys you could ever wish to be associated with. Sure he is in business to make money, but unlike so many other “Internet Marketers” out there it is not at your expense. You see I know John Thornhill’s secret, and I’m going to tell it to you.

In order to have a sustainable business in this area you need to build a reputation of honesty and integrity. You need to build a rapport with you clients, so that they come back to you time and again simply because they know that the products and services that you offer are worth every penny. These are all qualities that John Thornhill has in spades.

So there you go, there is my little rant as well.

If you really want to amount to anything in this business then for god’s sake stop sitting on the fence and take some action.

If you still want more information then just have a look at John’s Videos.

Now use John’s link and click on it while you still have the chance. Make today the first day of action, to make your online career a success.

Hi John

Well said – and if it loses you some subscribers, they’re probably not in touch with who you are anyway! One thing I felt was that with all the server crashes and outages etc was just how quickly everything came back up again. It took me three attempts to “get in” – I only hope that one day I have the same server problems!

And thanks for your bonuses BTW – I got the script even tho’ I’m some way off needing it but coupled with your videos I KNOW I’ll get there that bit sooner!

Cheers

Susan

Hi John,

I love what your wrote in your WF post: “I think if Mike was including $100 bills in with the package some people would still moan.” Cracked me up. Sad but true. I was on the fence. I’m not a huge Mike F. fan but your videos were great showing how BFM has done for your business. Then you threw in your bonus to promote our soon-to-be BFM site to your 50K list and this makes it an absolute no-brainer. $2,000 software for $30 plus your bonuses, I mean come on people! Stop sitting idly by. Thanks John. I look forward working with you on my first BFM powered site/product.

Alan

Not everyone wants to use the Butterfly script, when you have scripts like the memberspeed script, although much more expensive but easier to work with and you dont need to be an html guru to use it.

Also people dont always want to be locked into a monthly fee, now if you go for the Butterfly Marketing script version 1 and decline it you can get the Digital Version for $500 lot cheaper, and you get the upgrade as well.

With the amount of “Best Friend” emails coming in the past few days about this spam filters are going wild just now. Continuity on a $40 a month subscription just to get the script, many people will be suckered into this.

Myself i do love the script, infact i have both of them and think they are both good in their own ways, just make sure that its something your going to use, if you look in the BM Forums you will see people who bought the original still havent actioned it.

DONT be one of them who buy and do nothing with then complain it did nothing for you.

I am sad to see those posting here who would love to order but can’t through lack of a credit card.

Then there are the glass half empty folk.

“Seriously, would you rather I came to your home and built your site for you? ”

Yes John they would rather you came around put the kids to bed built their site, worked their job, did their shopping….and they could still find reasons not to bother……

The good news is that the future is in your hands
The bad news is that the future is in your hands……….

What a message John! I want to share my experience on this BM 2.0 I was on line waiting for the launch, can’t get thru it, e-mailed John and He answered within 10 minutes with reassuring message, (THANK YOU JOHN!)I’m in texas USA and time zones are different, when I finally got thru to it then I wasn’t able to get it because of the servers issue, I was so concerned about maybe not being able to get it since I had to go to work, (I work nights) I got home at about 5:30 in the morning next day it’s about 11:30 where John lives, got on my computer right away and was able to finally get BM 2.0 I had stressed my self all night thinking that I may won’t get it but as a very proffesional marketer Mike made sure that He will keep up to his promise of delivering to all of first 5000 who got in to it, but because of the server issues now He’s OVERDELIVERING to all who wants it thru Thursday, I have a thru believe on John to start with it even when I don’t have the pleasure of knowing Him personally, so Thank you again John for staying up on this also, I just have to wait to get the program and start developing my success with all your help, till next time,

Andres Luna

JOHN, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!

I originally did not purchase BM 2.0 because I did not want to buy another make money online program and have it sit on my laptop or book case getting dust.

My MAIN goal for 2009 is to stop jumping from info product to info product, and say focused on what has been making me money online, and get better at it.

I started my adventure with Internet Marketing August 2007. Since then I have bought close to $3,000 in info products, including several of yours. I found myself jumping from product to product, idea to idea, and not getting much accomplished.

I finally found my way, and started making money in 2008. I actually made $42k profit in 2008. Most of it came from promoting incentived CPA offers, and Affiliate Marketing using articles.

Article Marketing has been my main focus in 2009. But you’re right, Mike’s offer is too good to pass up, and couple with your bonus I would be a jackass to let it slip through my fingers.

So, a few minutes I went ahead and ordered BM 2.0, and joined your list for the bonus videos.

I have learned a lot from your products, and I’m looking forward to taking action when your videos are ready.

Thanks for the rant.

Chris

Great post John. I finally got through hours after the server crash and got my copy of BFM2.0 through your link. Actually, the server crash was good for me, because in desperation, when I could not get through initially, I tried with Firefox, got through, signed up then discovered that my referrer was “NONE” (in other words, not you). I normally use Internet explorer, so I guess it must have been a cookie issue. However, thanks to the server crash, that order did not get through, and I was able to sign up later using IE, through your link.
That was fantastic, because without your instruction, I know that I would not be able to take advantage of this great opportunity.
I think the main reason that newbies end up with a lot of unused stuff on their computers, is that they have no idea what to do with the things they buy, or how to do it.
John, your bonuses are priceless! Maybe people just don’t realise this. I feel sorry for those struggling newbies who have not yet found you.
I’m looking forward to seeing your videos, although as a time challenged member of your masterclass, I will have to put BFM on the back burner so that I can do justice to your course.
Thanks for your generosity and committment to helping your followers.
Cheers
Sue

Hey John,That’s a really good post because theres a lot of whiners and negativity out there and if your not willing to pay $29.95,Then you should get out the game,The problem is that i got threw Eric Holmund’s link,Sorry about that he got to me first and he as great bonuses also.But thanks for the heads up anyway your a great marketer and insperation to us all even thou im no NooB,Peace and good luck to john and all the positive post,Storm Walton.

John,
I bought my BFM through your link yesterday. You’re so right about the whiners, but I don’t think you’ll lose any subscribers. You offer such value anyway, and genuinely care about your subscribers. Always over delivering and again with your bonus. I think people who don’t order this are not serious about having an online business. Especially with the bonus you have offered. Anyone who follows you knows that they’ll receive more than you’re offering anyway, like the support that you’d have to pay an extra $300 for. The cost is negligible, considering it’s a 2k product normally.

For those worried about the credit card issue, you can set up a temporary credit card number from your online banking area just for these type of occasions. Or go to the pharmacy and get a prepaid card. There is no excuse not to get in on this if you’re serious about doing business online. Opportunity will stop coming around if you don’t answer the first few times. Just my two cents, I may be wrong. Good luck either way.

Hello John,

As many people have mentioned already I agree with everything you said, and thanks for the link to the Warrior forum, I couldn’t believe some of the comments, I didn’t know whether to laugh my head off or get angry, I guess laughter is the best medicine. I have now had a boost to my chances of making it successfully with IM as many of the people on the warrior forum haven’t the foggiest idea what it will take to be successful. If they don’t have the patience to wait and keep trying to get something free, then they have no chance. Many of them probably have never done any real work so don’t know that you actually do have to work at anything to be successful, and working for yourself (which internet marketing is) is the hardest, but ultimately most rewarding kind of work, and I don’t consider taking a couple of hours to make sure I got Butterfly Marketing through your link as work.

I thought Mike Filsaime’s team were great under the circumstances, anyone who can actually read would have seen the clear sign on the webcam that everyone who wanted the product would get it, and anyone who could hear would have heard repeated many times that people should go and do something else for a few hours, come back later and then buy and they would be successful. You just can’t please some people.

I am pleased I got in to IM through you and whenever I get distracted with all the other emails it is refreshing to be brought back on track through you and your friends.

Many thanks for your continued help to everyone, and as many people have sadi, if anyone fails to take advantage that can (the credit card issue obviously is a problem for some people) then they are missing a great opportunity and probably aren’t cut out for Internet Marketing.

Best Regards

Dave Smith

Thanks John. Your post was enough to stir me into action! I bought a copy through your link. I look forward to your videos.

Paul

Well said.

If you do lose a few subscribers, o what. They would only be the ones that wouldn’t do anything anyway and are useless on evey one’s list. Remember all the moaning last year after 7 Figure Secrets was launched?

Still trying to work out if I have been lucky. No confirmation from the payment processor but had email to say would receive package in 10-14 days. Also didn’t get the upsell or downsell pages. Daren’t try and order anoter in case both cancelled. But on the other hand desperate not to miss out.

Good luck everyone

Simon

I did not locate your offer until I had already ordered BFM through another affiliate (for a bonus which turns out to be pretty lame).

I would have signed up through you, and really regret not being able to learn from you!

Hope to still be able to get info from ya in the future!

-Tyler

Well said John and I have literally just this second ordered through your link. I was sorely tempted by Gary Ambrose’s bonuses as well lol but you won out simply because I’ve been subscribed to you longer and already trust you. Can’t wait to get my copy and get started on a site. The only drag about this is the international delivery time.

Oh yeah and a heads up to anyone else in the UK who hasn’t ordered yet… it’s not $29.95… it’s $39.95 for us. It’s still a no brainer though!! Go get it!

Already own BM original for a long time.
It’s a fantastic script to have.
And I would recommend it to anyone.

But there is no way that I would pay $29.00 for Mike Filsaime
news letter. I just don’t think it’s the best damn newsletter I have ever read.

I reviewed it on one of my site http://www.reviewing-now.com/Mike-Filsaimes-instant-affiliate-website.html after trying it out which I like to do if I’m going to recommend a product.
My recommendation would be to take the offer up on Mike Filsaime
BM 2, AND ANY HELP from John is the best damn bonus you will ever get.
Unlike the news letter.

Reply by John:

I would say give it at least one issue to see what he has to offer.

Hi John,

Excellent post. Sometimes people need a good slap around the head to get them to wake up, LOL.

To me the BFM 2.0 was a no-brainer. Anyone serious about building a successful online business just couldn’t pass an opportunity like that by.

Yes, sure it was frustrating trying to get my order through but rather than whinge about things I just persisted until I did. I put a post up on my blog that rather than look on the negative side of things, the problematic launch could be a ‘silver lining’ for many people if only they would grasp the opportunity. And they still can I see when I go to the site this morning.

Oh, and signing up through your link was a no-brainer too John! Your bonus of promoting to your list is awesome and is actually worth a lot more to someone who makes the effort than the cost of the original Butterfly Marketing Course itself!!

And as I know you personally John, I know you are a very genuine, sincere and honest guy who will try his hardest to help others succeed. I loved our train journey back together last month after meeting up with Alex Jeffreys. You were very generous and open about the information you imparted to me and hope we can get together again real soon.

All the best,
Garry

A lot has been mentioned about the extreme poor quality of Mike’s earlier magazine and I have to agree as I was also one who bought expecting great things and canceled within 20 minutes of receiving it.

Omar mentions how important it is to be on the cutting edge of technology and I have to agree, but the Filsaime and Stompernet “profit is all that matters” marketing machine needs to take a step back and remember their customers are human beings and not a wallet to be prised open according to Jeff’s Profit Launch Formula.

They can actually take a leaf out of YOUR book John who has consistently over the years given sound, (and often free), advice and have always had time for your subscribers whether they have bought or not. There are a number of people like yourself who, although profit is a consideration, (it is your business after all), are more information oriented than profit motivated.

Just setting up a dozen RSS feeds from people like yourself and we have top industry news delivered straight to our Google Reader and we don’t have to wait a month for the information to arrive.

The only reason I took part in this launch was because I saw you were promoting it otherwise, in all seriousness, I would have passed on this one.

The loyalty of your list and the respect you have earned shows your business model works. As I type this the post directly above from Keith says “but feel you are already a great friend as your sincerity flows through cyberspace and out through our pc’s”.

That is priceless. I feel that this is actually true of the majority of your subscribers and although some of the other marketers can generate huge buzz and frenzy for a short time until the next product launch, they don’t even come close to understanding the meaning of building a loyal subscriber list as you demonstrate on a daily basis.

Anyhow, my test for Mike’s monthly offering will be to take it to the local newsagent and place it alongside other, (relevant!), magazines, and say to myself, “Is that worth the $30 it will cost me to receive it?”

It actually raises the issue of whether an online marketing magazine being shipped out via snail mail to be read offline is actually of any use whatsoever but that is another topic for another day.

Thanks for being a genuine stand up guy. Always look forward to your emails and posts.

Fandro

Hi John –

I would love to get bfm and get your bonus’s but I am so weary of giving full cc details online.

I wish there was another option like paypal.

I am still pondering and will check back later to see if any cds are still available.

Am I being unnecessarily cautious about cc…? (5000+ don’t seem to have a problem with it….???)

Any input would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Robyn
